One setting I wish was included with Windows computers was "Don't update this computer because it never works."

Now that Windows *forces* updates occasionally, I have to make sure all data is backed up *daily*, and that I regularly set "restore points", because no update has worked for several years, and each time it shuts the computer down and can only start again after doing a system restore.

(The only thing that works for me is to keep it off the internet except when I absolutely need internet, but even then, sometimes an update gets forced through.)

McKinley Presidential Library & Museum

Old Machine interfaces found at The Black Hole, an amazing industrial surplus store.

The business end of the device, with serial ports (I think the DIN one is for a Commodore PET—really not sure though, I never bothered checking).

I'm also *assuming* that this is a serial port and not a 20mA current loop interface. Again, I haven't checked thoroughly. I treat this device with kid gloves and the respect it deserves.

While in Clay Center, Kansas, I came across this display for the local museum. It has old transisters, vacuum tubes, and old Mac, some old cameras, and an old adding machine. Makes me feel old as I remember just about everything in the window. It seems like yesterday that the Mac came out!

If I were to have a "ghetto dev" Celeron 433 in my closet as a file/CD/DVD burning/storage system, it might look something like this. And run Windows XP, using 64 MB of RAM after logging in. (I don't know how I got there either.)

“What in the wide, wide world of sports is a’goin’ on here?” No, your eyes don’t deceive you. That’s a 35 year-old #computer in our shop. Sure, we do vintage #Apple data recovery, but not much call for it from an #AppleII. So, what possible use could we have for this thing? You’ll see, soon enough. #appleII #appleIIe #muncie #indiana #dork #nerd #munciemap #vintagecomputer #vintageapple #oldcomputer #retrocomputer #whynot #wtf via Instagram ift.tt/2Dwt0wk

Tratando de rescatar mi computadora vieja, que algún día migraré a Linux

Depois da versão de Pier Solar para Mega Drive (direita), foi a vez da versão para Dreamcast (esquerda) e também Ouya (que não apareceu na foto, pois não é retro, rs)
